RLP 258: Saving Views of your Airtable Research Log

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about using Airtable for a genealogy research log and how to configure and save different views of your tables. Tables are like pages within a spreadsheet. In your research log table, you may have many entries of various record types. You may want to filter to just see tax records, then group them by tax district, especially if you're studying many people with the same name. After configuring this special view of tax records, you can save the view and come back to it later. Now you have two views of your research log - the original view with all the records, and the tax record view. You can save up to 1,000 views of each table! Join us as we talk about saving views in our DNA match details table, research log, and even a new view type, the list view.
